Ever have to deal with someone who said that or something similar to you?

No, but I yelled 'you'll be hearing from my lawyer!' and walked away from someone once. I could hardly walk for laughing. Great moment.

I worked in a hotel and the owners son came in after the kitchen closed looking for grub. I didn't know it was him at first until he said, "I'm John's son" and stare angrily at me while his missus (i assume) wasn't impressed either. Once i copped on and he began acting more the cunt i just stood my ground. My punishment was washing pots and pans in the kitchen because "They were swamped". Were they fuck. Anyway i won out, 5 hours without dealing with customers and the chef sorting me out with a nice dinner. Fucking nice one.

Are you difficult to deal with sometimes, Markus? Stubborn?

With friends and family yeah, not with punters unless they're acting the serious cunt.
What about you?

I wish they had. More than half a century waiting to use the comeback, "Why? Have you forgotten?"

I can be stubborn but not unreasonable. Actually if anything I try too much to see the other person's side.
I do have a bit of a temper THO but it rarely appears these days. I can't remember the last time I really lost it. Years, definitely.

yup. the guy who ran FILMEX - a big annual film festival we used to have in L.A.
People were getting their cars towed. Everybody assumed the event parking was a private lot that was not properly marked. the theater manager had us warn people they would be towed so they'd go move their cars.
FILMEX policy was that people who arrived late didn't get in - no refunds. I was working the doors and sneaking them in anyway because what kind of bullshit is that? you don't get in and you don't get a refund? It was poor event planning that had them arriving late in the first place. anyway, he marched up to me and demanded to know what I had just done and I told him. he asked me if I knew who he was and I told him that I did. He screamed and hollered and so did I. I'd spent a fair amount of money on FILMEXes previous and I was stunned at what an excitable and unreasonable douche-bag he was.
All the volunteers refused to meet my gaze afterwards. I was suspended for (I think) 2 weeks. this was a compromise because I was told he wanted my scalp. he wanted me fired for letting people in to the movie they had paid to see and um.. yelling at him. well - he yelled at every fucking body. Apparently people who yelled back got fired.
asshole. He died of complications of AIDS 5 or 6 years later. it's a testament to how utterly gruesome the effects of AIDS were that I really was sad for the guy when I heard. this is back when people got the lesions and everything. I wouldn't wish that shit on Gary Essert. |

I aggressively approached a ref once in a basketball game that shocked my friends etc because they never seen that side of me. 50 euro fine and 3 match ban. Was actually quite proud of the ban. |

I once saw Bob Seger try to get into a sold out movie with it. He actually added, “I’ve got Don Henley right here with me!”
They didn’t get in. 😝

I generally tell it this way…. “Do you know who I am?” STRIKE ONE!!! “I’m Bob Seger” STRIKE TWO!!!! “I’ve got Don Henley right here with me!” YER OUT!!!!!! |

Saw a joke on twitter yesterday that went along the lines of:
To whichever scumbag hacked into the records of ancestry.com yesterday: you know who you are.
